The police have a warrant out for a 19-year-old man named Alec Miller in connection with the case.
The victim has been identified as 23-year-old Maximillian Halterman. He had reportedly been living in the cabin-type home, which is across from the McCullough Campground.
A woman who knew Halterman said he was a great guy.
"Too young to go. He was always smiling, always happy," said Kadisha Wozniak, a friend of the victim. "It's just a real shame that this keeps happening in Butler,"
